Blair's experience with the director made her feel 'powerless and scared.'

The star said she met Toback when she was still a budding young actress and her representatives set up a meeting between the two to talk about his then-upcoming movie, Harvard Man.

Toback told her agents he would only meet in his hotel room, but Blair, feeling uncomfortable, said she would rather meet at the restaurant.

Though he agreed to meet there, when Blair arrived she said a hostess came over to her and told her that Toback couldn't come downstairs and that she should meet him upstairs in his hotel room.

'Against my better judgment, I went upstairs,' she said. 'Looking back, I don't think James Toback ever planned to come down to the restaurant.'

The Legally Blonde and Cruel Intentions actress said that when she met him in the hotel room he seemed calm and confident, but didn't say the same about her.

'He pulled out the script and said, "I look at you, and I see that we have a real connection. You could be an incredible actress, just by your eyes, but I can tell you don't have confidence."' she said.

The conversation then turned to her parents, and she revealed that she had an estranged relationship with her father, to which the director replied 'I could have him killed. I do it all the time, I know people.'

Though she was nervous, she said she really thought he would end up being her mentor.

About 40 minutes into the meeting, Blair said Toback told her to take her clothes off and 'do this monologue naked.'

'I said, "why would my character need to be naked? She is a lawyer in a courtroom,' Blair said.

'He said, "Because I need to see how your body moves. How comfortable you are with your body. This is where I start training you."'

She expressed that she was uncomfortable, but she said he continued to coax her and told her that it wasn't a come on, and that he 'wanted to make me a good actress.'

So she took off her top, which only made her feel embarrassed and ashamed.

Then, she claims, Toback asked her to have sex with him. When she tried to say no and leave, she said he blocked the door and told her: 'You have to do this for me. You cannot leave until I have release.'

She still refused to have sex with him or touch him, at which time she claims he told her to look into his eyes and pinch his nipples while he rubbed himself against her leg.

'I thought, "Well, if I can get out of here without being raped...'" she said.

While it was happening she said she tried to look away, but that he held onto her face and forced her to look into his eyes.

'I felt disgust and shame, and like nobody would ever think of me as being clean again after being this close to the devil. His energy was so sinister,' Blair said .

When he was done, Blair claims he threatened that if she 'went against him,' he would have her killed.

'I have people who will pull up in a car, kidnap her, and throw her in the Hudson River with cement blocks on her feet. You understand what I'm talking about, right?' she claims he told her.

Blair said she told him she understood, and then left 'shaking and scared.'

'My career was just starting, and I was frightened. I thought I was going to be kidnapped if I told anybody,' she explained.
